After many months of hard work we are now reaching ever closer to the release of the next major update. Internal quality assurance testing have been ongoing these past weeks and we have already undertaken early feedback sessions as we prepare to move into a larger scale closed BETA. This update has taken some time, however, testing and polishing has been integral for bringing in a fresh lick of paint to the game and laying the foundations for the updates that will follow. [img]https://iili.io/HiHVD6F.gif[/img] This update will bring with it an entirely redesigned user interface which will introduce some much needed modularity and scalability to the UI while also making Holdfast more accessible for all players. One feature of this is the new ability to customise your soldier and playercard within the main menu. Before heading into battle, visit the barracks tab and customise your soldier for each and every nation. Any changes here will also be reflected within the in-game spawn menu.

Playercard customisation for this update will be limited to begin with but we look forward to bringing in new medals, banners, weapon designs and much more into the barracks with the coming updates. Rest assured that our commitment to Holdfast and its community remains as strong as ever! Revealing more of our plans for the year, sappers will be equipped with an improved arsenal of buildables. The sapper was always intended to have a far great presence on the battlefield and the introduction of these new constructible objects will bolster their impact throughout matches and provide some far greater and robust defences to dynamically change up the battlefield with towers, palisades and much more.
